(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

There are some footage for you of the moment when an unmanned NASA rocket bound for the International Space Station, exploded upon launch on Tuesday evening. These are amateur videos gathered by the Associated Press.

The rocket blew up over the Virginia launch complex at Wallops Island, just six seconds after lift-off, casting debris¹ all around. You can see the flames shooting into the sky as the sun sets.

It was the first catastrophic launch in NASA’s commercial space flight effort. But luckily no injuries were reported. The Cygnus cargo² ship being launched was loaded with over 2-thousand kilograms of supplies and equipment for the crew onboard the space station.
